Dodge began as the Dodge Brothers Company, founded by John Francis Dodge and Horace Elgin Dodge in 1900, and introduced its first complete automobile in 1914.
Its early identity used a Dodge Brothers monogram and later became closely associated with ram imagery, including hood ornaments and the ram's head badge used prominently in the late 20th century. After Ram Trucks became a separate brand in 2009, Dodge shifted to a more performance-focused wordmark with twin red slashes, reinforcing the brand's muscle-car and performance image. The historic Fratzog, a triangular three-part emblem used in the 1960s and 1970s, has also been revived by Dodge for its electric performance identity.
